Visitor-based static analyzer library for RPM .spec files
Documentation
//! `%install` write-boundary rules: RPM380, RPM381.
//!
//! - **RPM380 `install-writes-outside-buildroot`** — destructive
//!   commands in `%install` that target real system directories
//!   (`/usr`, `/etc`, `/var`) instead of `%{buildroot}` /
//!   `$RPM_BUILD_ROOT`. The build will pollute the host the moment it
//!   runs as a non-mock build, and on a real builder the `%install`
//!   step is supposed to be the only place where the package's
//!   payload is staged — escaping the buildroot defeats that.
//! - **RPM381 `rm-rf-buildroot-in-install`** — the venerable
//!   `rm -rf %{buildroot}` line at the top of `%install`. Modern RPM
//!   (≥ 4.6) cleans the buildroot itself; the manual `rm -rf` is at
//!   best dead, at worst dangerous if `%{buildroot}` happens to be
//!   empty or `/` for some hand-built test invocation.
